Students finish second Coast to Coast<br />
• By Gordon Findlater<br />
ST THOMAS of Canterbury<br />
College students Cormack<br />
Terrant, Cameron Brewitt and<br />
Joshua Grosvenor completed<br />
the Coast to Coast for a second<br />
consecutive year.<br />
The trio finished the two-day<br />
three-person team event in<br />
15hr 14min and 34sec which<br />
was good enough for ninth<br />
in the men’s and third in the<br />
schools category. The three year<br />
13 students first completed the<br />
event together 12 months ago.<br />
“The loved the first one<br />
clearly and decided to have a<br />
second bite at it, it’s not an easy<br />
thing to do,” said St Thomas’<br />
teacher and team organiser Blair<br />
Scadden.<br />
The trio trained for the race in<br />
their own time, juggling commitments<br />
with other sports and<br />
found sponsorship to cover entry<br />
costs.<br />
Brewitt began proceedings<br />
at Kumara beach on Saturday<br />
morning when he completed<br />
a short 2.2km run before<br />
Grosvenor completed a 55km<br />
bike. The first day was completed<br />
by Terrant who took on the<br />
gruelling 33km mountain run.<br />
Day two consisted of a 67km<br />
kayak for Brewitt before Grosvenor<br />
completed the 70km to<br />
the finish line on New Brighton<br />
beach.<br />
After becoming the first St<br />
Thomas’ student to enter the<br />
team event 12 months ago, it’s<br />
now hoped three students will<br />
fly the flag for the school again<br />
in 2010.<br />
“The boys stood up and made<br />

a speech in assembly. We are<br />
trying to create a bit of a legacy.<br />
Next year we’d like to have a<br />
team enter again, so it’s not<br />
finding the next batch,” said<br />
Scadden.<br />
